Please help dress me for NYC wedding

[heythere]

I'm going to a wedding in Manhattan at the end of September. Saturday evening, wedding at a church, reception at a restaurant. I'm just starting to look around for something to wear and am not sure exactly where to start. The bride says it is not super formal, but I'm thinking it's going to be a bit dressier than my brunch-at-a-farmhouse wedding was!

So, can you help me? Am I crazy to think I could wear something like this with fun shoes and jewelry?

I want to keep it under $150 or so, and significantly under that would be awesome, but I am willing to spend a little more for something I love. I would love general recommendations or links/pictures to help me shop.

Thanks!

I think that would be perfect.

I actually like this a little better. I tend to stay away from jersey for weddings since it seems like a more more office or casual fabric. Since this is evening and has dinner, I'd go for something a little more cocktail. The Talbot's jersey I've seen looks like very cheap polyester IRL. I'd say better to be a little overdressed than underdressed.

This is pretty cute too:

This could work as well:

Thanks, everyone! I ordered the one from Talbots, but am going to go to the mall this week to check out some other more cocktailish options also.

I think the Talbot's dress looks very elegant and the draping is very nice!
